Question

Algebraic proof question.

ANSWERS: subtraction property of equality, division property of equality, distributive property of equality, x + 1 = -4, and x = -5

Answer 1

2. division property of equality

3. x + 1 = -4

4. subtraction property of equality

5. x = -5

Explanation:

The second reason is Divison PoE because the property states that you can divide an equation by any number as long as you do it to both sides. The third statement is simply what you get after dividing. The fourth reason is subtraction PoE because it states you can subtract an equation by any number as long as you do the same thing to both sides. Finally, the fifth answer is x=-5 because 1-1 is zero and -4-1 is -5, so x = -5.
